1. Security cameras in the area find so no trace of the assault where he said it happened.
2. After he gets attacked he gets his sandwich off the floor that is in one piece to take home.
3. Two white guys who happen to be Trump "racists" are roaming the area with bleach and a rope.
4. He calls the cops and leaves the rope around his neck as evidence to see when they arrive.
5. Cops ask for his phone because he says he was on the phone when it happened but he refuses.
6. Days later he gives a phone call transcript that is so redacted it's useless to cops.
Nope, not buying it.
This is not a quote, but apparently during the first police interview he said something to the affect of at least they didn't take my sandwich.
